Let's say I don't host my open source code on GH (I do). What prevents anyone from mirroring it to GH? The person uploading the code would not have the rights to grant permission to the uploaded code beyond the license.
Edit: which ToS paragraph are you referring to? I haven't been able to find any grant of rights beyond the ones needed to use GitHub.

And bout the mirroring, I'd say what happens is the same as whatever happens if someone sold you something stolen. I don't know exactly but I think the same kind of law applies.
